Rejection Note
/glossary/rejection-noteFormal documentation of non-conforming material to be returned or replaced by supplier.
In detail
Rejection Note is the formal documentation issued by a buyer to a supplier identifying material that fails to meet specification requirements. It details the nature of non-conformance (dimensional out-of-tolerance, chemical deviation, mechanical failure, surface defects), references the MTC heat number, and states disposition (return for credit, replacement, or scrap). Rejection notes trigger supplier corrective action and are essential for quality tracking and supplier performance evaluation in B2B procurement.
Where you'll meet this in procurement
You will meet Rejection Note in inspection plans, dispatch packs, and tender checklists. Keep heat identity, certificate type, and any third-party witness tied to the order so Rejection Note is usable evidence at site acceptance—not a loose attachment after delivery.
